Ever since i started shopping online I have been going with Rebeltech but their monitor selection ain't too shabby.
Which other online shop has a wide variety of screens while being decently priced.
On that note , what good 1900x1080 23" screen can i get for around R2000?

What is the purpose of your monitor? Gaming? Design? Both?

about a year ago I got my LG D2343 for little over R2000 from Rebeltech, but I see the prices rose sharply a few months ago and now they go for near R5000.

I sometimes use http://www.uprice.co.za/ for pricing comparisons. As above, just be sure that the site is legit and not a scam or anything

Monitor prices rose from R2k to R5k? You're being shafted. I'd shop somewhere else. They shouldn't rise more than a few hundred Rand.

This was a few months ago. I haven't bought from them since as I have had no need

I purchased a Dell S2340L thru my local storefront PC guys in Jan for R2100 VAT incl, very nice monitor. Maybe ask your local guys for a quote, you might be surprised, also - no delivery charges.

Does anyone know where I can get white monitors, keyboards and mice from?

Monitors have indeed gone up by 35% due to duties and Ad Valorem (28% Duties and 7% Ad Valorem) on monitors bigger than 19.5” and also the Rand has devalued by 30% which also impacted the pricing

http://mybroadband.co.za/news/hardware/18647-computer-monitor-prices-set-to-jump-in-sa.html

everyone that was selling stock last year were still selling “Old stock”

We have started assembling our own monitors in South Africa and the first batch will come out of the production line in the next few days , once this is done we will see if this is a feasible option and start up a fully fledge production line to assemble a full range of monitors and Television.
